Re: SyTy Secrets, REVEALED!

My vin is 1613 and according to sportmachines my engine seq # is 1649. Does that mean my truck is actually 1649?

So are we gonna go by our Last 4 of the VIN or by the engine sequence?

It depends on what you want to talk about. If you want to just designate your truck by a specific number, then it is best to use the last four of the VIN. But, don't believe that is order the trucks were made, because it wasn't. The Syclones might have been made in the order of their VINS, but the Ty's definitely were not.

The engine sequence is also not the order the trucks were built in, but probably the order the drive train was built in. Using this page:

http://sportmachines.com/members/sequence.php?sort=SignOffDate

And sorting by the Sign Off Date, you can see that the Engine Sequence is not in order.

Is this because of legal/contractual obligations or sentimental reasons. If it's the latter, then it has a price. :D

I live 10 min from the place, and they will not sell for anything. I ask at least once a month.

Although I should go take more pictures the next time I am up there.

Re: SyTy Secrets, REVEALED!

Have they given you a reason why they wont sale it though? Or do they just flat out say its not for sale?

Re: SyTy Secrets, REVEALED!

They said the owner doesn't want to sell it. I asked why and the guy said that the owner thinks it will be worth a ton of money. I told him I highly doubt it.

Unfortunately, the more people inquire about it, the more it boosts his presumption. Otherwise, in his mind, why would other people want it so bad. Maybe someone can buy it a few pieces at a time if they really want it bad :).

It's in a junkyard for a reason, why would it be worth a ton of money?
